No still actively after my bust set . But always wanted to own a a few coins that Have nothing to do with a set but coins that I would really love to own

$3 Princess

Massachusetts Cent

$10 indian

Flowing hair Half dollar

No stars seated dime in 65 or better

Just to satisfy my curiosity. How does someone in New Zeland get into collecting rare and expencive U.S. coinage?

Bob, that is an absolutely stunning Half!!

 

Here is my most recent acquisition. It's not a rare coin, or even a particularly high graded example, but it's a beauty nonetheless. This will take a spot in my US Type Set, Including Moderns. There appears to be a die crack prominent through star #3 and running along the left side through a couple other stars. The stars are all sharp except numbers 11, 12, and 13. Overall nice luster, with just a hint of patina/toning on the obverse.

I thought that coin looked familiar, I got th e-mail to release it from my registry set, I will do that once I get home as it will not let me do it from my phone. I am glad to see that it went to a good home

Nice V-nickel sample Alan! I had one once about 15 years ago but I think I sold it 6 or 7 years ago, or at least I can't find it anymore, so I'll just assume I sold it!

Alan didn't post that one. At least not yet

I stopped by a local shop today and these two slabs piqued my interest.

A lowball 1893 Columbian in a rare early PCGS 2.0 holder. I paid less then melt for this one!

And this PCGS sample slab with a worn out 1911 Liberty nickel in it.

I finally got a new camera, Its basicly the newest version of my old camera, so it didn't take long for me to figure out the settings

So here is a sampleing of the coins that I have bought while cameraless.

Dean,

 

The Classic Head Large Cent is

one of my favorite coins but I never

see them in choice condition such

as the one you posted.

 

Great pick up - and something I

would love to see in hand !

 

Congrats !!

I agree! That coin is drool worthy!

Beautiful shooting medals indeed! Your collection of these must be getting pretty extensive by now, how many do you have?

Austrian?

My first Polish coin, a 1932 5Z, minted in London.....

 

These are by far my favorite Polish types. Very nice one Hiho!

In no particular order...

Wow, that is a superb looking gold Dollar

Wow! some great coins on the previous page! I especialy like that proof Indian Dean!

Another upgrade to my Peace dollar Dansco... A nice and crusty 23S with great luster.

Absolutely love that gold Boiler!

Picked up this nice crusty 1921 Peace dollar as an upgrade to my set.

Dean was nice enough to let this one migrate from his collection to mine.

It came in the mail yesterday.

Some that I picked up over the weekend...

1898O PCGS MS65

1923 Peace Dollar NGC MS64 in a no-line fatty. I already have one of these in a PCGS OGH but I couldn't really turn it down for the price.

And I picked this one off of E-bay from the Hoot man.

NCS AU details scratched obverse. In hand the obverse scratches are almost unnoticeable. A very nice looking piece.

It is always a pleasure to read through this thread and check out all the cool coins! (thumbs u

Here are some newps of mine.

1881S Morgan. NGC MS63DPL In a no line fatty.

A nice non messed with Roanoke Half. A few minor carbon spots and an spot of dark toning at the top of Raleigh's hat but for the price it is a winner.

And an interesting colorful Franklin half

I bought a couple of nice circulated pieces today.

A seated half dollar for my registry type set and a couple of standing libertys for a date set that I have slowly been putting together for a few years.

1918

1918S

Thanks Rey, As soon as I saw that big English medal I just had to have it! Not my typical area of collecting but I feel that I will definatly be expanding into it a bit more. There is just something cool about something so beautiful with a mintage of only 400 and it actually be affordable!

Irvin, that Double eagle is beautiful! Nice Morgans also.

Fletcher, your collection of Fugios is very very cool.

Very nice Morgan! Where was the show at?

...........this coin was from "The Martin L. Diffenbaucher, Jr. Collection" Any significance?

 

The last name reminds me of the plant..........dieffenbachia............I won't mention its common name.

 

Chris

Dumb cane? Dieffenbachia was named after a German man named Ernst Dieffenbach.
